Equipment
- 1 high speed blender or food processor
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats (will yield ¾ cup slightly packed or almost 1 cup loosely measured in a dry cup.
Instructions
- Place the oats in the blender and pulse until broken up into rough flour. Knock down sides if needed, turn to high speed for about 20 seconds to get the flour really fine. Read notes.
Notes
Large Batch: If you are making a large batch do it in small portions (the portion size will depend on how big your blender or food processor is) but generally an average sized blender should be able to handle 1 to 1 ½ cups of oats.
Pulse: To prevent the oats from getting hot and becoming gummy in the blender or food processor, pulse them until a flour is achieved. Then blend on high speed for about 20 seconds to get it really fine, but don’t go much longer because the high speed will create heat and could start to warm the oats making them become gummy.
Yield: One cup of rolled oats will yield about ¾ cups flour slightly packed but if not packed it will yield close to the 1 cup used. It is important to note that not all flours weigh the same that’s why it’s important not to swap them around in recipes.
